Good idea! :)

That it does! But there’s also a bunch of dust so its pretty sneezy work.

One of my dad’s friends introduced himself to me as a Doctor of Woodology, i wonder if he read that book 😂😂😂

If there was slightly more room in my garage so i didn’t have to carry most of the wood halfway across my backyard it would be much more fun :-/

Working on several projects that i want to make out of oak, so there’s a certain logic logic at play.

Wooden shelves absolutely packed with more wood.

Tonight’s not at all irritating task: sort all of the wood in this several ton stack into oak and not-oak. 😡

Spring around my yard today. 🌱

Monkey puzzle trees! Though you can apparently eat them too.

Damn meat monopolies stifling innovation!

Was it while they were playing Jug in an Elevator?

A rectangular hamburger with cheese lettuce and tomato wrapped in white paper.

All hamburgers could be rectangular but most restaurants are cowards.

They raised it from $10 to $13 a day and that’s when i pulled the trigger.

When i did this math i didn’t even factor in gas because limiting to just parking fees had my ebike payoff at just five months. Best transportation mode ever.

Erfut Latrine Celebration 2026!

A partial rainbow shining through the sticks of a winter-dormant tree.

Its only a little rainbow but i’ll take it!

Anyone else just hear a bang followed by a minor brownout? That was weird.

It is so incredibly sad to me that so many of us are so desperate for meaning, connection, conversation, friends, and god knows what else, that we’re poisoning our collective well-being with the mad ramblings of a lossy photocopier.

A clump of lovely purple crocuses in front of a grey stone wall.

Crocuses!

I think its just about picking the right cultivars and being willing to progressively stress them long enough that they’ll survive our winters?

I wish i could grow cabbage, i suck at brassicas excepting kale :-/

Didn’t know that lactos made vitamin c, baller

Cave bear skulls will never go out of fashion.

At least we won’t get scurvy!

Blood Moon tonight, and a potential Great Comet in April… the portents are just flying fast and thick these days aren’t they?

A small yellow lemon growing on a tree with a finger for scale.

Look what i grew, almost completely outdoors, in Portland, Oregon.

A Santa Teresa feminello lemon!

A bunch of sticks in a big black plastic pot starting to push out new leaves.

This year’s crop of free trees is waking up nicely!
